Inscription
Hers were the virtues, blended and refined.
The soft affections, of a female mind;
Worth, that ne'er sought for praise, yet claimed applause;
Lips, that ne'er swerved from truth's unerring laws;
Hands ever ready to relieve distress;
Her heart was free to give; her tongue to bless.
With patience, firmness, faith, and hope, applied -
Beloved, lamented, and resigned - she died.
